Ten Players Facing Tough Draft Decisions

UTEP C Arnett Moultrie
CLASS: Sophomore
BUZZ: Moultrie really didn't show that much improvement this season. He's athletic and can run all day, but he has been far from dominant for the Miners. Transfer Derrick Caracter was featured more in the Miners' offense this season, and Caracter's presence also meant Moultrie's rebound total went down. If he stays in school, he and fellow Memphis native Randy Culpepper will give the Miners a nice inside-outside combination. But he has to weigh his potential improvement against possibly being a late first-round selection. Moultrie would be drafted on potential, not production. Some teams like his athletic ability and see a guy who could be a solid role player on both ends of the court. Others see a lack of bulk and wonder whether he would wash out in a few seasons. If he stays in school, you can bet new UTEP coach Tim Floyd will improve his defensive intensity.
